lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know what you're thinking of but
I don't think it's working out for
All you're trying to stage when you're together
I know you'll keep faking it when
Everyone's just waiting for their
Call to shove your face into the gutter

You don't wanna be
You don't wanna be scared
You don't wanna be
You don't wanna be scared
So won't you just be the same
For a change

[Verse 2]
I know you feel safe inside when
You're the new sensation right
Before they turn away to face another
I know you’ll dismiss me for the
Slightest taste of interest
But why can’t you see that’s all you’re gonna get

'Cause you don't wanna be
You don't wanna be scared
Yeah you don't wanna be
You don't wanna be scared
So won't you just be the same

[Chorus]
When all you are is falling apart
When all you are is falling apart
You know you've come too close to the sun
Waiting for their call
Waiting for their call to be alone

[Verse 3]
I know you could twist yourself in
Trying to convince them but then
Don’t you think there’s someone you’re forgetting
I know we grew distant over
Time but I’m not giving up on
Waiting for the moment you’ll be ready

‘Cause I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be scared
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be scared
So won't you just be the same

[Chorus]
When all you are is falling apart
When all you are is falling apart
You know you've come too close to the sun
Waiting for their call
Waiting for their call to be alone

Dead or Alive // So Useless
by Gender Roles

The perfect blend of modern indie aesthetics and 90's teenage aggression. Loud, dirty and utterly fantastic. Protonaut

SPOOL
by Husky Loops

Such an interesting blend of hip hop and rock, a very intimate feel. Makes all the quiet sounds hit really hard. Protonaut

As Blue As Indigo
by Tigercub

I loved every second of this, just as I've loved every second of Tigercub's older releases. Everything from the grungy aesthetics, crushed drums, chaotic and heavy arrangements - just hits the spot. Protonaut
